Cunningham compiled 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and six assists in 29 minutes in Thursday's 126-111 loss to Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham made four of his first eight shot attempts but lost his touch and missed seven of his last eight tries. The 21-year-old has struggled from the field all preseason and is just 18-for-49 shooting and 5-for-21 from beyond the arc. While he's scoring only 10.5 points per game in the preseason, he's found other ways to be productive and is averaging 5.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists in four contests.

Cunningham totaled 10 points (3-13 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham struggled with his shot in the loss but still walked away with a tasty line, including five defensive contributions. After a strong rookie campaign, Cunningham has caught the attention of managers everywhere, resulting in a leap up the rankings. For anyone keen on acquiring the athletic sophomore, a selection in the second round is looking like the price required.

Cunningham's personal trainer said Wednesday that the 20-year-old won't be playing for the Pistons' entry in the Las Vegas Summer League, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham is likely fully healthy after a sore right hip kept him sidelined for the Pistons' April 10 season finale against the 76ers, but Detroit saw enough from the 2021 No. 1 overall pick as a rookie to justify not exposing him to a potential injury by having him play in games this summer. He ultimately finished third in the Rookie of the Year balloting behind Scottie Barnes and Evan Mobley after averaging 17.4 points, 5.6 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in 32.6 minutes per game across 64 appearances. Cunningham's efficiency from the field improved as the season rolled along, and he should be primed to take another step forward in that area in 2022-23 while likely handling an even more focal role on offense. He'll be part of a promising young nucleus that includes 2022 lottery picks Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren along with four other recent first-round selections in Saddiq Bey, Marvin Bagley, Isaiah Stewart and Killian Hayes.

Cunningham put up 14 points (6-18 FG, 2-2 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one block in Friday's 131-101 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham couldn't get things going shooting the ball, but that didn't stop him from flirting with what was almost his third career triple-double. The rookie is up to 20.6 points, 6.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds on 49.0 percent shooting in his last 10 games.

Cunningham ended Wednesday's 131-113 loss to the Mavericks with 25 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes. He also had five turnovers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham (hip) returned to a full workload after essentially missing two games with hip soreness. Cunningham shot a much-improved 48.0 percent from the field across 14 games in March, but his three-point shooting has never caught up. He's knocked down multiple treys in just two of his past 10 contests. Nonetheless, Cunningham is averaging a stout 17.5 points per game through 63 starts.
